Full compliance with modern quality standards. Supplier Evek GmbH offers zirconium, the price is optimal in this segment of rolled metal products.

Geology

About 7,000 tons of zirconium are produced every year. The metal is found in ore deposits in the form of oxides and silicates. Although a dispersed element, it is found in 40 different minerals. This element has a very low toxicity. The company Evek GmbH offers to buy zirconium rolled products today. The supplier provides product delivery to any point specified by the customer.

Medical applications

The use of zirconium compounds in medicine began in 1969 when it was widely used for dental prostheses as an alternative to titanium. It is not only because of its excellent resistance to corrosion but also because the coefficient of thermal expansion of zirconium alloys and dental enamel are the same. The Y+Zr compound has many advantages over other materials: it is more compatible with the human body, has twice the bending strength and four times the compression strength (compared to steel). Zirconia also has greater resistance to acidic bases found in many food products.
